"Lost? Was she really defeated instantly?" Zhao Xiu looked at Liu Bingxin in shock, then turned to Zhou Bai, "How could Zhou Bai be so fast? What martial art was that just now?"
Not only Zhao Xiu was shocked; except for Ying Hui, who had witnessed a bit of Zhou Bai’s speed, probably no one knew Zhou Bai could actually defeat Liu Bingxin in seconds.
Even Liu Bingxin herself sat on the ground, staring blankly at Zhou Bai, speaking with some dissatisfaction, "Why? Why did your speed suddenly become so fast, Zhou Bai? Weren’t you always focused on Body Refinement? When did you start cultivating martial arts related to speed?"
Christina, controlling Zhou Bai, said, "Is it really that fast? I’ve only been recently practicing ’Gale Breath Walk’; it seemed quite simple. Can’t you keep up?"
Liu Bingxin felt like she had a lump in her chest, wanting to say something, but she couldn’t utter a word.
The crowd around them was still astonished at Zhou Bai’s sudden burst of speed.
Lu Wanzhen quietly estimated the strength Zhou Bai had just displayed: "That kick just now, it’s probably already at the peak of the first realm. When I was in the first realm, that was about as fast as I could go.
Zhou Bai, this guy, to have such strong speed while also doing Body Refinement, if he were in the third realm, he might even challenge Zheng Wentian."
Ying Hui smiled with satisfaction, ’Zhou Bai, this kid, is really the biggest find of the year. In the four-school competition six months from now, he might even break through to the second realm and achieve good results. After another year or two of growth, he should be able to replace Meng Ruocun as the new number one.’
Zuo Dao’s eyes fixed on Zhou Bai, suddenly feeling heartache. He felt as if he was tirelessly chasing after the other’s shadow, only to see it getting further and further away, overwhelmed by the sense that no matter what, he couldn’t catch up.
Qian Wangsun saw Zhou Bai return, slapped him on the shoulder forcefully, and said with a face of surprise, "Well done, Zhou Bai. So tough, so fast, that’s impressive. I think you can take the sixth place this time."
After Meng Ruocun left, everyone was supposed to move up a rank, but since Zheng Wentian appeared and defeated Jiang Weishan, becoming the new top ranker, everyone’s position had retreated once again.
Now the strongest in the first realm was still Wang Ran, ranked sixth.
Wang Ran’s eyes were also on Zhou Bai; Zhou Bai’s displayed strength was enough to challenge him, and even he wasn’t too confident about winning against Zhou Bai, contemplating the tactics in his mind.
Everyone also thought that Zhou Bai would become the new strongest in the first realm, remembering that he had only joined the special training class four months ago, his progress had been remarkably rapid, which was both astonishing and enviable.
Zheng Wentian looked at Zhou Bai and thought to himself, ’This Zhou Bai is not bad. If he can step into the second realm, he can be included in my guard and taught superior Daoist techniques.’
Having finished her challenge at the rank of eleventh, Liu Bingxin watched as Ying Hui turned to Zhou Bai and asked, "Zhou Bai, who are you going to challenge next?"
Christina looked toward Zheng Wentian, pointed at him and said with a grin, "Hey, come down and fight me."
Zheng Wentian was slightly stunned, completely unexpected that he would be challenged.
Others were also shocked, Zhou Bai challenging Zheng Wentian? First realm challenging the third realm? A mortal fighting a divine being?
Everyone’s first reaction was that Zhou Bai had gone mad.
Ying Hui frowned and said, "You, a first realm, challenging the third realm? Choose someone else."
But Christina ignored him, carried the Chunjun sword to the center of the arena, and said arrogantly looking at Zheng Wentian, "Hey, come down. You’re not scared, are you?"
Zhou Bai said wordlessly, "They’re descendants of deities, Tina, can you not be so arrogant?"
Christina snorted, "What I, Christina, like to do most, is to slap the faces of these high and mighty deity descendants really hard. Don’t worry, just cooperate with me later. With my skills, I’ll take you straight to a lying win."
Zhou Bai retorted, "For crying out loud, at least use your own body to slap their faces, huh? You’ve pulled all this hatred onto my head."
Christina replied, "With our cat and human hearts united, there’s no distinction between yours and mine. I’ve taken all your grievances on myself."
Zhou Bai was speechless... In his heart, he couldn’t help but secretly think: ’This damn cat, is she really sincere, or is she just deceiving me?’
The others on the side naturally couldn’t hear the conversation between Zhou Bai and Christina. Ying Hui wanted to have Zhou Bai change his target, but then he saw Zheng Wentian step into the arena.
Zheng Wentian looked at Zhou Bai’s rebellious stance, and the figure slowly merged with the shadow of someone in his mind.
’Again...’
’Again, this arrogant mortal.’
’Your bloodline is not as good as mine, your family history is not as good as mine, you’ve clearly only survived until now thanks to the protection of us deities.’
’Why? Why do you seek to challenge us?’
The rage in his heart blazed, yet the exterior Zheng Wentian calmly said, "Heh, if this classmate wants to spar, then I might as well give him some guidance."
Others only saw Zheng Wentian’s modest and peaceful demeanor, but Ying Hui, with his sixth layer divine chart, and his heart-chart cultivated abilities, could sense the surging anger hidden beneath Zheng Wentian’s calm.
"This guy is angry? Just because of Zhou Bai’s provocation?" Ying Hui frowned, "Deity descendants are such trouble. He’s surely going to hit hard."
Ying Hui stepped forward and said, "Enough, what’s the point of a first realm fighting a third realm? Zheng Wentian, go back. Zhou Bai, choose someone else to challenge."
Christina protested, "No, I want to fight him. This time, I, Christina... I mean, Zhou Bai will take first place."
Zheng Wentian laughed, his warm smile like a breeze, yet his eyes hid chilling coldness, like a smiling tiger: "Teacher Ying Hui, don’t worry, I will spar with Zhou Bai and won’t hurt this first realm junior."
Ying Hui wanted to stop them, but then he heard Zheng Wentian grunt, and a Golden Armored God General swiftly appeared in front of Ying Hui, his gaze fixed on Ying Hui, with murderous intent swirling in his eyes, seemingly ready to strike should Ying Hui move a step further.
"Golden Armored God General, is he the protector of this deity descendant?" Ying Hui thought angeredly, but sensing the Primordial Spirit force emanating from the other, he knew the Golden Armored God General had at least fifth realm strength.

In the past, Ying Hui at the sixth realm might have acted directly, but after suffering a serious setback, he was no longer able to cultivate, and though still powerful, he wasn’t sure he could defeat the other immediately. With the background of deity descendants, he was caught in a moment of hesitation.
Nevertheless, his attention remained fixed on Zhou Bai; if Zhou Bai was in danger, he would not hesitate to take action.
On the other side, Zheng Wentian looked at Zhou Bai, smiling, "Zhou Bai, you attack first. Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you." As he spoke, a surge of scarlet gold Primordial Spirit force rushed towards Zhou Bai.
Zheng Wentian thought coldly in his heart: ’This kid... I’m going to break one of your hands to cure you of your irreverent attitude towards deities.’
Christina scoffed and in an instant, unleashed her Primordial Spirit force, blasting open her shirt and shoes with a bang.
